The Onion's Joe Biden 'autobiography' out Friday

1/17/13 5:07 PM EST

The satirical newspaper will release the e-book — written in the voice of the Onion’s popular parody version of Biden — as a Kindle Single on Amazon, The New York Times reported. The Times also offered a sample from the foreword, written by The Onion’s Biden character:

Hombre, you’ve just done Uncle Joe a real solid buying this book. I ain’t the kind of guy who forgets his debts. Next time we meet there’s a tallboy of ice cold Beast on me. And if you’re a lady, I know a few tricks to repay you with interest, if you catch my drift.

Onion Joe has long been popular with the site’s readers, and has made appearances in parodies doing everything from hitchhiking to the Democratic National Convention to washing a Trans Am in the White House driveway while shirtless.
